The Worst.
With Morten Ståle Nilsen?! The guy who constantly writes negative about the Stones? He who claims that Charlie Watts play static drums and doesn't swing? The same who disses the blues and think Midnight Rambler is boring? Did he actually say anything positive about Exile on Main Street?
He's just like the other 1969-1974 fans here on IORR
Yep, many nice things (although he claimed that the album was saved in LA by the session musicians and the female backing vocalists). And he brought his own original vinyl to play.
He complained about the uneven tempo on Soul Survivor, though. That was interesting. I had never thought of that..

It breaths, it speeds up, what's wrong with that? It's great.

That you never thought of it should speak volumes about the un-importance of his statement. In the million times I 've listened to it, I never noticed, or cared about it. It's an organic take of a great song.
Now that I think about that song played with a metronome, I imagine it would ruin the way it flows.

Actually I think the tempo is pretty even throughout the song, apart from the first part (water rough - sailing tough - drowned in your love) which is a little slower. I love it, it's like an intro.
It could be an appropriate comment if it wasn't a complain, but a praise.

My Exile listening party has been going for forty years now and I've yet to find anything negative to say about that album.

Same here, I only went for the sound (and the beer)

It was neither. He was merely examplifing sloppiness that could have been corrected, but I don't think it was a big deal for him. Quite a few from the audience commented that the album was a bit sloppy and weirdly mixed.
Needless to say, many of them weren't Stones fans
